THREE STORIES OF SERIAL KILLER TO BE FEAR

In literature, the yellow kind is divided into sub-genres: crime and espionage, noir, and thriller. Since the holidays are upon us, there is nothing better than to look for a good book (for yourself, or for someone dear to you). The advice is to read a good thriller, a genre of fiction developed in the twentieth century. The main object of this literary genre is the description of the characters (be they criminals or victims), involved in a crime.

Born in the background of American cities affected by the violence of the gangsters and the Mafia in the period between the two world wars, the thriller is related to the movies. In the detective genre, the plot develops after the discovery of a crime (and as the conclusion of the guilty revelation), but in the thriller the reader directly assisting the preparation and execution of the crime, suffering, in a climate of growing tension, a strong emotional involvement.
